Player/Coaches/Parents that go over the top posting comments on forums
Submitted by leelark456 on Tue, 2006-05-23 09:22.
Since I discovered the Walax forums, I have noticed people (players especially) that put excessive amounts of Vulgar/Showboating/Lying. Why do people do this, do they think it's funny, or it's their obligation to defend their team from honest opinions? What say you?
Rules for the forum
We added the forums to the site to allow our users to have a voice and I think in most cases this has been very informative and a great addition. We do however realize that we have some very young users on our site and therefore want to keep these boards from becoming a 'no-go' area for these users.
We do have rules - no vulgar language and no personal attacks although the past couple of days have seen a number of these types of posts. We do monitor all the posts on the site and edit out bad language or delete items that are of the personal nature. We do however feel that the community does a pretty good job of policing these boards as in the case of the MI posts on Sunday. Some very good counter points were made which is why that string of posts was not deleted completely.
Again we don't want to censor these boards but do if the need arises.

Skyline does it alot. I heard Overlake does too.
Overlake
Just to put it out there, i play for overlake and that was like, 3 guys doing that. nobody else does.
the coaches and most of the players go kinda angry seeing some of the stuff those 2 or 3 guys put on
overlake
some kid called me a douche bag. I thought that was pretty funny.
